Then Agesilaüs said with a laugh: You see, O men, how many more soldiers than you we are sending out.
27.1 But in Megara, when he was leading his army back from Thebes,From a second incursion into Boeotia, made in 377 B.C. (Xenophon, Hell. v. 4, 47-55; 58). as he was going up to the senate-house in the acropolis, he was seized with a cramp and violent pain in his sound leg, which then swelled up, appeared to be congested, and showed signs of excessive inflammation.
